FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arnstein
& Lehr LLP today announced that Franklin
Zemel, partner, obtained a $1.1 million judgment, plus pre-judgment
interest for his client, Partex Apparel International, in a breach of
contract case against Gear for Sports Inc., a sports apparel company
owned by HanesBrands,
INC (NYSE:HBI). The ruling was announced on March 28 in Kansas
district court.

Partex, an El Salvador-based manufacturer, claimed that GFSI failed to
pay for several shipments of sports apparel that it had received. The
lawsuit was originally filed in the Southern District of Florida in 2010
because Partex maintains a corporate bank account in Miami. In July
2010, GFSI requested and was granted permission to move the case to
Kansas court.
